      This must have been a trend, looking at the same thing happening in London previously.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Firefighters and forensic authorities in Spain say 10 bodies have been recovered from the ruins of a 14-floor apartment complex after fire tore through it in Valencia.

    “We can confirm that in an initial inspection forensic police have determined 10 bodies, 10 fatalities, who coincide with the 10 people that we have as unaccounted for,” Pilar Bernabé, the Spanish government’s representative in the Valencia region told reporters.

    As the scale of the tragedy was confirmed, stories emerged of individual heroism as the fire tore through the facade of the building leaving residents trapped.

    Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited the site of the gutted blocks of flats promising aid to local authorities in their response to the tragedy.

    The head of the Valencia regional government Carlos Mazón said he was working with the city authority to provide housing and basic needs to those whose homes have been destroyed.

    Saturday’s La Liga match at Valencia’s Mestalla Stadium has been postponed as a mark of respect for the victims.
